"Now, my daughter," he croons, "you must retire to your divan, but at dinner you shall meet your half brother and sister; then, of course, you must tells us all about your travels, and what brings you to us at this blessed hour." As Silver Dagger leaves her at the doorway into her... bower seems to be the word... Smoke Cat Watching restlessly roams the apartments. The furnishings are lovely, the plants in the garden beautiful, but there are too many walls. In fact, there is only the one exit.

Silver Dagger laughs melodiously. "How may I then address you, as you are my close kin, but also a stranger? It is difficult to know the niceties of what one should do." The young shaman is suddenly loath to tell him of her magic, or why she undertook this errand in the first place. But she literally cannot afford to entertain such silly qualms; she needs the money. Mistaking her slowness to answer for shyness, her parent proposes a diplomatic course. "I shall simply call you "daughter"."

He bows to her several times, as the servants scurry this way and that in response to various orders given out in a silky, but nonetheless carrying, voice. "As I recall, your mother used to call you "Kitten", but that cannot be your name now." "No," replies Smoke Cat, "I have been informed that my full name is Lady Silver Smoke Cat Watching. It is, however, a bit unwieldy for daily usage." She smiles to the perfect degree to match his bow, mentally assessing him as he sizes her up in turn.

When she fails to vanish, her father examines more closely the young woman standing in his vestibule. "By Heaven, you look just like her! But I forget my manners. Come in, come in at once, my child, and get out of this glaring sun." He does not add, "before someone sees your dark skin," but the implication is apparent in his tone. "You must be quite weary after your long journey, and we must instantly arrange for your rest and comfort. I, of course, am your esteemed parent, Silver Dagger."

In the end, the problem is taken out of her hands. Just after releasing the dove to let Jonas know that she has safely reached her destination, the ornate door Smoke Cat stands before is opened, and in the wake of the lackey sweeping the steps, Silver Dagger strides forward. Smoke Cat immediately recognizes him as the man from the vision that Blue Turtle helped her conjure, only older, balder, and an unhealthy milky white. Unexpectedly, he makes an ancient sign to repel ghosts, angry ones.
